Pope Francis's legacy emphasizes humility and action, particularly concerning climate justice and debt cancellation for developing nations. As a conclave selects his successor, leaders are urged to honor his vision for 2025âa Jubilee year for justice and renewal. The urgency is underscored by climate scientists who warn that emissions must peak by then. Developing countries, largely impacted by climate crises, are burdened by immense debts to wealthier nations, preventing effective climate action and worsening their situations. The stark imbalance in climate aid and debt servicing requires urgent rectification to honor Francisâs principles.
Francis envisioned 2025, a Jubilee year for the Catholic Church, as a time to restore justice among people, nations, and with the Earth itself.
From cyclones in Mozambique to floods in Pakistan, climate-related disasters caused overwhelmingly by industrialised nations are tearing apart the infrastructure and economies of developing countries.
